I'll try to forgive you but I can't pretend nothing happened. You broke my heart. That happened. Granted, you let me down gracefully but a pillow can't stop a bullet.

To: the you in my head
My vision went black All my senses were numb But somehow I knew I had to get out

Fading
These old wooden floors shake with each footstep Cold air seeps through the cracks in the walls Dust has settled on the piano These keys haven't been played in far too long My mind is tired My dry skin aches Everything was easier when you were here I don't remember the last thing you said to me But I know it wasn't goodbye What will we think when we look back on this

Covered in Ivy
Blistered hands, blistered feet Hit hard and left confused Is the rocking boat or the betrayal making me sick? The salt water on my cheeks either came from the ocean or my eyes But what difference does it make Blistered hands, blistered feet Broken heart Two thousand miles couldn't soften the blow

La Jolla Shores
The sky used to be bright but now the clouds conceal the sun Climbing down from the highest branches the wind urges me to let go My wandering mind would soar to the clouds while my fragile body fell to the ground I took aim and fired but my arrow was lost among the leaves

lost among the leaves
But you see, if I tried to get rid of everything that reminded me of you I would be left with nothing You have wound your way into every aspect of my life I hear you in every song I see you in every sunset because I know you're watching the same one And I wonder if you think of me when you see brown eyes or when you listen to the songs we both love And I wonder if it would be as hard for you to get rid of me as it would for me to get rid of you

to get rid of you
Don't you see what you do to me? You hold so much of my happiness That you can easily take it away How did I let this happen

six word story
Only he could make her feel the desire to be free. She felt it in his composed voice, the familiarity so imponderable, so supple, perfectly right. She could not help smiling.

You said you hate your hands That they're too big and clumsy To do anything right But I love your hands You said your hands were cold My hands are always warm So you could hold mine for a bit If you'd like
